Some of the classic things that tenants everywhere are interested in include: location, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, square footage of the rental, amenities, front yard, back yard, school district, neighborhood, and nearby shops/stores.
How Long Should Your Listing Be?
The ideal description is 4-6 sentences. Pick two of your best features and one exciting attraction nearby. Short, informative sentences are all you need.
Rental listing descriptions are best formatted as a paragraph. Bullet-points are great for lists, but the description is not a list- it should be full of useful, persuasive information. It’s a more professional format.
